i am but a child in your arms, speak simply to me that imay understand.
the bird's the word
fuck what you heard
stick it your ear
i am a mourning glory
and i am here to tell the story
all about the serpentine 5
the lizard king has fallen
fallen from his place, fallen from grace
and the regent king has gone
never to return
only 4 remain
the throne is empty
no one wears the crown
one more lost prodigy, servant before his master, this time
so then, will queen step up?
the regent's wife who mourns so well?
to take the place of lizard queen
and drown inside the misery
and filter out the sanity?
to see and hear only truth?
this is the beginning of the end...
the old monarchy is fallen, long live the new monarch
and it's diet of poison
poison keeps the eyes bright
helps to see the light amidst the darkness.
how long will the reign last?
how long will the rain last?
when will the rain stop?
two and a half.
two and a half.
22.. 23...24..25....26..27...28...
our reign will have been the same
there is no shame looking up from the bottom
remember, remember, the fifth of november...
remember instead the 23rd of may.
2+3=5, may=5
5 alive
where is the sister?
you're here to replace her
what is your number?
my number is 7
lucky number 7
3rd times the charm?
5-point 6-point 7-point 8-point stars
solomon david mourning sternberg
the seals clubbed by the ignorant masses
misinterpret misanthropic miscommunicated misfits drowning in a world of filth that is only a box
one box
there is no tesseract here.
we're stuck in one time, in one place, on one plane with no escape
genius or insanity
why did you scape the car i was asked?
i heard a speedy unloading, i unloaded myself.
let's scape this place.
the words, a cadence to my marching
though i am sober, i feel my mind unwinding to the point where i can't tell sobriety from insanity
i knew them both so well
i don't ever want to go back.
i will never go back
i have left stability behind
they will all soon forget
so much left unfinished
can i do it in two years time?
trying to make sense of all the nonsense
trying to make sense of our own genius
is that what they want?
our ability to see through the sheets?
i always just accepted
be prepared, come what may
but he never saw it that way
too big a task, i said
survival of the fittest
you're so much stronger than i, he said
don't worry, said i. i'll protect you
i believe you would, but what if you have to leave me behind?
that is what seperates us from the animals. i would stay too
what about your son?
i raised him strong
goodbye
no, you can't leave me behind
i have to
i swear, if you go, i will follow you
queit, cynical, laughter
maybe not right away, but i will
be happy. find someone new
there is no one else. there is only you
find someone, and bare his sons
i already have one
have more
only yours
goodbye
weeping
desperation
pure and total grief
i will finish what i started.
